 | 1972 was four decades ago. You could be alive during the sixties. Another option is WW II, which is one of the most interesting times in technological history. Any earlier and you start entering the pre-penicillin days which is not a very fun experience. You could go to Mozart's time …  |
 | Re: Big Data "Big data" is when you have more data than typical relational databases are capable of handling efficiently. It isn't really a field of computer science or something that you can "study". If you're writing applications that use a ton of data, there's essentially the question of what tools to use …  |
| | This review is a glorified feature list. Was it written for you by some low-level PR person at HP? Did they give you the laptop on condition that you talk about a certain set of features? Or did they let you choose a few features to leave out? Like all … |
| | It's probably too late for the OP, but for any google searchers out there, definitely don't get a game design degree from DeVry, or anything from DeVry. There's a whole community college system and state college system out there that's much cheaper and much better for you. |
| | How slow is it? If it's slow, it's slow because either (1) computing `Board[i][j]` is slow or because (2) `system("clear")` is slow or because (3) appending chars to a stringstream is slow. 1 would be the case if you used a bad datastructure for whatever Board is. 2 could be … |
 | Never mind. I can't see the point of replying to a question like this. These terms are obviously not specific to some particular sort of customer relationship, so your question is nonsensical. |
| | If these are the only objects here and there's no recursive functions in there, your problem is that the bitmaps are too big. There's simply no place for hidden references to stick around. (These images: are they 3.5 MB compressed, before they're loaded? Or are they 3.5 MB as bitmaps?) … |
| | The answer to your second question is that you won't (after all, that's what the definition says), unless the omega and O bounds are looser than they could be. |
| | Um, no? Why would it be? |
| | Re: Computer degree (That depends on your competition.) Your degree and GPA don't matter. You have to not suck at programming. The only purpose your degree or GPA matters in this game is for the purpose of getting a company that might like to hire you to give you a phone screen. (It … |
 | Re: After Java, C++? Koenig & Moo's *Accelerated C++* is the standard recommendation for people who already know how to program in a language. Personally I didn't have the mental capacity to learn C++ until I was 18. Other people could certainly learn it at a younger age. He could always learn Python. Or … |

| | With what compiler did you get this? I don't think this is necessarily standard-compliant behavior. |
| | You want fast responses and a small filesize. You can't get fast responses if you can't fit all your records into one hash bucket -- you'll have to read a second one, and so sometimes you'll double your latency. Low latency is basically the most improtant goal. To make the … |
| | TeX is underused so I wouldn't recommend spending your time on it. The output was always disgusting anyway, as if the TeX ran under disgusting settings. Yes, you are the only one who likes alternating line colors. This means you are a bad person. |

| | See the wikipedia page on the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754-2008 Basically you have a sign bit, an exponent part, and a mantissa part, and they represent the number `(1-2*sign_bit) * (1.0 + mantissa) * 2^(exponent - K)` where K is a constant, exponent is interpreted as an unsigned integer, and mantissa is … |
 | Looks like you've messed up the code! Because Daniweb now sucks for pasting code. Good job Daniweb. decimal_binary :: Float -> Float -> [Int] decimal_binary d_num factor = if d_num < 0 || d_num > 255 then [0] else if (d_num - factor) < 0 then 0 : decimal_binary d_num …  |

| | It's not whether you're interested in programming that's important, it's whether you're any good at it. If you suck at programming, you should change your major. I don't see how IT could possibly be more interesting than programming. |
| | It's a complete waste of time. Programming certifications actually hurt candidates on a resume. Instead you should list the programming you've done as a hobby. If you can actually write code, people will want to hire you.  |
| | [CODE]void Rational::reduce() { int x = getNumerator(); int a; x = a;[/CODE] What is the value of x supposed to be right now? [CODE] int y = getDenominator(); int b; y = b;[/CODE] What is the value of y supposed to be right now? [CODE] int i; while (i = … |

| | You could also figure out your problems by reading the Common Lisp hyperspec. |
| | Truecrypt doesn't change the backup equation, just some constants in the equation. The software itself works fine, as far as I can tell, and it's as convenient as conceivably possible. If by "cloud services" you're referring to networked drives that live in the cloud, it should be compatible with those, … |
| | Find the n-1th element of the tail of the linked list. |
| | C++ exceptions are different from CPU exceptions and they don't interact. Momeranth's post is basically wrong. nezachem is linking to an article that talks specifically about Windows structured exceptions, not C++ exceptions or other kinds. (So they're an example of a certain kind of exception mechanism.) Ultimately the implementation of … |
| | Re: NetCat Uh, the documentation for it is pretty straightforward, the program is really simple. What help do you need? |
| | That's a pretty bad way to do it. What is your goal in life? Or more specifically, what is your goal by solving this problem? You haven't specified your question enough, either. Do you want the algorithm to punish walks that have more grey squares? Which of these are more … |

| | Re: Security Survey! 1. How important do you consider computer security? That depends on the situation. For TI-83+ calculators, not important. For normal computer systems it's basically a question of how much personal information is on the system, or what machinery it's hooked up to, or how much money you lose if it …  |
 | JVM bytecode is less decompilable than .NET bytecode. Machine code compiled from C++ or C decompiles into gibberish.  |
| | > Intelligence arises from the random mutation of thoughts (literally, random neurons misfiring randomly). It is this randomness that enables thinking outside the box and creative thought: intelligence. Oh look, you can invent your own facts! Please teach us how to do that, too. |
| | So just to summarize: histrungalot's first reply is wrong, pyTony's reply is right, histrungalot is wrong to say that 2^O(n) is invalid notation. [QUOTE=hystaspes] now, my last question is when should I multiply [B]c[/B] in the exponent? [/quote] What do you mean? Why would you multiply something into an exponent? … |
| | Not sucking at programming is the most important thing for your future. Which languages you know is not. |
 | Java is slower than .NET in many circumstances because .NET has structs. More importantly, C# is a better programming language than Java, that's pretty much indisputable. |
| | The list is obviously B.S., no software developer who is worth anything is going to get certs, and you can throw out all software developer resumes that mention certifications without losing any signal. So at least the software development certs in that list are worthless. For other "IT" people, I …  |
| | [QUOTE=vaironl] I'm going to college with a computer science degree in mind, but I ask myself am I ready for the math.[/QUOTE] There's also the question of whether you're ready for the programming. |
| | interesting. [QUOTE=LdaXy] end function[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=LdaXy]end class PerfectTest[/quote] end interesting. |
| | Considering how Javascript is used in the browser these days, a web designer who can't program is not going to be able to do anything interesting, and won't get paid very much. |
 | Java, C++, C#, any of those would be appropriate. With Python you have to deal with the fact that any code you write yourself will be very slow. |
| | Or just store a copy of the min element alongside whatever data structure you want and you can then access it in O(1) time. |
| | It's a^n b c^(n+2), and if you can't even use basic parentheses how are you even human? PROTIP: a^n b c^n c c is the same thing. |
| | You only need to copy one data element and change one link. |
| | [QUOTE=Jimakoss]I want a programming language that i will learn very well so that I will be able to work a bit on the internet as a freelancer and do some projects for my own at free time which is generally a lot.About 5 hours a day.[/quote] Any language that is …  |
| | Sure. Since your language's orthography apparently uses digits for any homonymous syllable, just use [code](std::stringstream() << n).str()[/code] |
 | Uh no, they use "video capture software."  |
 | There are 2^(n-1) types of two types of people in the world jokes. |
| | There does exist this notion of "front-end developer". There is a market for those skills. How much money you could make depends on how good you are and how good you are at getting people to give you money. |
The End.
